VINCENT is here at last, and the great reviews are coming in. I have the best readers in the whole world. They don’t just love the books, they let everyone know about it, posting reviews on Amazon, and on so many blogs. My thanks to every one of you.

The paperback should be available at BN.com in the next couple of weeks. I’ll post a link when I have it. Kobo takes even longer to get the books up on their site. I’m not sure why, but they’re really slow. I’ll keep a look out.

My new VINCENT/UNFORGIVEN bookmarks came in over the weekend, too. VINCENT on one side, UNFORGIVEN on the other. If you’d like one of these, or any of my other bookmarks, you can find ordering information on my website HERE.

Also this week, I posted a new short story at PARANORMAL HAVEN. A story for Halloween and a RAFFLECOPTER, too.

One last piece of news … I have winners in the JABRIL Audio Giveaway. ……….Cherylynn A. ……….Kelly D-R Both winners have been emailed and now have five (5) days from the date of this post to respond to the email, confirming their contact information (if they haven’t already.)

And finally this week starts the VINCENT blog tour, with lots of interviews and other stuff, plus a cool RAFFLECOPTER giveaway that includes books and Amazon gift certificates. Keep an eye out here and on FB and Twitter. I’ll post my blog appearances as they happen.

There are already a couple of early reviews in, too. Both 5-stars for VINCENT!Book Chick Blog Reviews . . . Reynolds is really a master storyteller and has the ability to draw you into the story completely in only a few words.KT Book Reviews . . . A sexy couple, mysteries, secrets revealed, and surprising revelations. What more could you ask for? I loved it.

The e-book will definitely pop at midnight on November 1st, with the print version appearing soon after. In the past, there’s been a slight lag between the e and print versions. I’m checking with my publisher to see if that will hold this time, since this is the first book with the new ImaJinn/Belle.

But you don’t have to wait that long for a fresh story from my Vampires. This Friday, the UNFORGIVEN blog tour winds down, and the VINCENT blog tour kicks off at Paranormal Haven’s HALLOWEEN AT THE HAVEN with a brand new short story.

There will be interviews and guest posts and a super Rafflecopter giveaway.

And speaking of giveaways, the JABRIL audio giveaway ends tonight. You have until Midnight PST to get your entry in. a Rafflecopter giveaway

My publisher sent me a few download codes for JABRIL’s Audible Book this week, so you know what that means … I’m giving two of them away! No special requirements, just enter the Rafflecopter below.a Rafflecopter giveaway

I updated my GOODREADS CHALLENGE at last. My challenge is 93% finished, and I’m 21 books ahead of schedule! And with NaNoWriMo coming, I’m going to need that cushion. For those of you who don’t know what NaNo is, it’s an annual madness during which a lot of writers (over 300,000 worldwide in 2013) set out to write 50,000 words in the month of November. I’ve done it every year since 2007. A couple of times I’ve missed, but most years I make my 50K. In fact, RAPHAEL was my 2007 manuscript.

Also, this week I’ve been busy writing posts and answering questions for the UNFORGIVEN blog tour. Here’s a couple of links to the places I’ve been.

The UNFORGIVEN blog tour rolls on this week and next, and then the VINCENT blog tour kicks off on Halloween Day (October 31) beginning with a brand new mini-short story for Paranormal Haven’s HALLOWEEN AT THE HAVEN. VINCENT’s blog tour will also include a cool giveaway.

And you know when happens the day after Halloween? VINCENT is coming!! Woohooo!

I’m back to work now, writing DECEPTION (Book 9) when I’m not writing more blog posts for the VINCENT blog tour. See you next week.

We have to start with UNFORGIVEN which released on Friday to great reviews. And now everyone seems ready for VINCENT.VINCENT is currently AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER in Kindle from Amazon, but he will be available in other digital formats and in print once he’s released.

Also, this week I got a surprise! JABRIL’s audio book released on 3 October, so it’s now AVAILABLE ON AMAZON. Also, my publisher tells me RAJMUND will be releasing in January 2015.

And then there’s RAPHAEL, who’s on sale for just $.99 at AMAZON and BN.com for a very, very limited time only.

With all of this fun stuff, I think I’ll wait ’til next week to update my Book Challenge and give my media report, including the new TV shows and the return of older shows. There’s some good stuff happening.

I also want to wish all of my readers and friends up in Canada a very Happy Thanksgiving. Lucky you, you get your turkey today! Although I like the mashed potatoes and gravy best.

First, let’s get the bad news out of the way. As you can see by the countdown to the right, UNFORGIVEN’s release date has been moved to October 10. I received a phone call on Friday to let me know that there’d been an irrecoverable snafu in the production cycle. I was unhappy mostly for my readers who’d been promised a novella on October 1, and after waiting a whole year! Anyway, despite everyone’s best intentions, there’s no way the schedule can be recovered, so …

The good news . . . UNFORGIVEN won’t be ready, but I want my readers to get something new on 1 October, so I’m pushing up the date of the next Vampire Vignette. I’d originally planned this story as a flashback to UNFORGIVEN, but it works even better as a prequel. And since I wrote the story for Paranormal Haven’s annual Halloween at the Haven—which is where I’ll be on October 31 this year—I’ll just have to write something brand new for the Haven event. Which means, dear readers, you’ll get an extra story to compensate a little for the delay in UNFORGIVEN’s release.

In more good news, I’m told that UNFORGIVEN will be available for preorder from Amazon, which is cool. It’s already been posted to GOODREADS, so if you add it to your GoodReads “to be read” shelf, you’ll be notified as soon as it’s available.

You’ll notice, btw, that there’s no cover yet—other than this pretty little tease which I smuggled in just for you. The cover is finished—I know this, because I’ve seen it!—but ImaJinn is planning a cover reveal on GoodReads for the 19th, with the UNFORGIVEN preorder launching at Amazon on the 24th, which happens to be the dark of the moon. A good night for Vampires and those who love them.

You might also notice that I’ve added a countdown widget for VINCENT up above. I’ve been ASSURED that VINCENT will release ON SCHEDULE on 1 November, and will also be available for preorder, though I’m not exactly sure about when the preorder button will happen. I’ll let you know. But VINCENT is also UP ON GOODREADS (albeit without a cover) so if you add it to your “to be read” shelf, you’ll be advised as soon as the cover is released AND when it goes up on preorder. Or so I’m told. This process is new to me, so I’m learning along with you. Even MORE good news … I’ve been advised that JABRIL’s recording has been completed, and I’ll have the proofing copy very soon, with the audio release expected in 3-5 weeks! Yay!

And finally, just for good measure, DECEPTION is up on GoodReads, too. This is way, way early. I mean, I’m still writing it! But you can put it on your “to be read” shelf, and it will motivate me even harder to watch the numbers grow.

I think that’s it for this week. Kind of a lot. But it means I need to get back to writing, since I need a new story for Halloween plus I need to finish Cyn & Raphael’s story for DECEPTION.

Oh, and … in a total fan girl squee moment, tonight I’ll be at the Hollywood Bowl, watching and listening to LINKIN PARK, THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS, and AFI! Squeeeeeee! (I did warn you about the squee.)
